Best Budget Water Case?

Mrjobby · 5 Jan 2010 at 14:51

Anyone got any ideas for a decent size but not stupid money case that would house a 2 x 120 rad?

Would love somthing like the corsair but £200 isn't going to happen :rolleyes:

i dont mind if I have to mod it, ideally looking to roof mount the rad but cant find many cases with any clearance above the motherboard tray :mad:

Coolermast Haf 932?

Has the right dimensions but its £120 (not really budget lol) and it looks a bit gash to me.

lancool k62 is quite a good case for the money, dont know about the distance over the mobo though, that was my issue

I didn't think there'd be enough space in that. Although yeah, brilliant case otherwise. I just bought one after much browsing and it came up top on loads of reviews.

The Antec 300 is nowhere near big enough for a proper watercooled system, no room for rads.

Im going watercooled now and ive had to change from my Antec 300 for it.

NZXT Tempest would be ideal.

external rads?

ReeVo.uK · 6 Jan 2010 at 01:08

The NZXT supports water cooling as is a very nice case. £50 max.

Whats wrong with a bit of modding

Could easily watercool in an antec 300.

CM 690 II when it comes out (Should be in a couple of days, room for two 240mm rads)

Can easily get a 120.2 in an Antec P180/P182, and you can buy them for £60 - £70 now. They're hard to find as they're old stock, but they are about and they remain the most attractive case on the market in my opinion. I'll probably never get rid of mine.

i had a 120.2 and could have fitted a 120.1 in a coolermaster 690 (with modding of course

I am right now, in fact

Granted I've only got a 120.1 and a 120.2 rad in there, but it's more than enough for CPU

My suggestion would be to look at NZXT or getting a 2nd hand case

Ive seen much smaller cases watercool perfectly well (i had a v350), i rekon the antec would be a decent project. But i hate the looks
